The Good and The Forbidden

The Pandemic vs. Skin, who wins? – #1

January 3, 2023

It’s no surprise that I would write about this. HA!

Not because I love skincare, which I do, but more because I didn’t expect that the pandemic would have a huge impact on my skin and its routine. It is a struggle and I don’t mean it lightly. 

And it still continues to this day. 

We all have to wear face masks.

My Biologique Recherche Facial Experience at Four Seasons Hotel Jakarta

August 26, 2018

I’m writing this post just a couple of days after the treatment (despite my period cramps) because I don’t want to lose the euphoria of the exquisite experience of Biologique Recherche facial treatment over at Four Seasons Hotel Jakarta.

If you don’t know yet, Biologique Recherche is famously known in the beauty world for their exclusive treatments. It’s so exclusive that the products are only sold at a very few handfuls of spas across the globe. Not just that, they’re actually reluctant to sell the products without having a consultation beforehand, ensuring us (as clients) can get the best match for our skin and achieve maximum results.

Biologique Recherche is also synonymous with its Lotion P50 (and its variants) for being the top authority on exfoliating acid toner. I believe, Caroline Hirons is the one responsible for making this product incredibly popular.

With the brand’s existence along with their treatment services (face, body, and hair) almost a year ago, it definitely adds another excitement to the ever-growing local beauty scene. So, without further adieu, let’s begin.

Kanebo Chrono Beauty – Japanese Skincare at its best

June 5, 2018

Last year, I got the chance to try out Kanebo’s newest line of skincare called Chrono Beauty. This line speaks to my heart as someone who appreciates the importance of maintaining a good, solid skincare routine. Because after all, healthy skin requires a long-term commitment. And of course, I’m partial to Japanese skincare.

Just a heads up, I absolutely adore this line and I’m really relieved that I finally can write down my thoughts about the line and the products I’ve tried. Some of the products have been an integral part of my routine, including prepping my skin for our big day last November.

Let’s begin!

Hatomugi Skin Conditioner – For All Seasons

January 4, 2018

This is yet another product I procrastinated to make a review of because I’ve featured it often on my Instagram and I figured people would get it by now: I FREAKING LOVE THIS STUFF.

Alas, sending that message wasn’t enough. After continuous inquiries over the past few years, it’s only right that I give the proper spotlight of this product in The Fruit Compote. That way, I don’t have to keep repeating myself and I can just shove the link. LOL! Kidding! *but serious*

Meet my skin’s best friend, Imju Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioner.

Acne and Blemish Busters – Spot Treatment Options

August 1, 2017

One of two most asked questions I receive often is how to get rid of acne. The other being how to fade the spots they leave behind. Acne is a bitch to begin with. It’s most people’s biggest nemesis in terms of skin problem. I don’t think there’s anyone out there who wants to have any. It doesn’t matter whether a person only have one or the whole skin is covered with them. Dealing with acne is a tough work, even continuous to many.

It’s not just about skincare, because it can only do so much. It comes down greatly to our genes, lifestyle and environment. There are potent treatments like Roaccutane for severe cases and I have seen some gruesome side effects from it – this I would only recommend if you have problem that’s rooted internally. Otherwise, sticking to topical treatment and taking great care of our health are the best bet.

This post though, will cover the topical treatment that I have tried, specifically for spot treating.

Odacité Bl+C – Handy Little Helper

September 19, 2016

After Pa+G, Odacité Bl + C (Black Cumin + Cajeput) is my second pick from its Serum Concentrate line. I specifically wanted this because God knows I suffer breakout once in a while and I need to be prepared.

It was a little bit tricky at first but I found the leeway into it.

Odacité Pa+G Packs A Punch!

June 14, 2016

If you’ve been following me for some time, you’d know that I’m all about customizing my skincare routine. It gives me room and a lot of freedom to deal with specific issues depending on my skin condition that changes from time to time. I’m also a firm believer that there is no such thing as a one miracle, do-it-all product. No matter how perfect a product is, it needs others to create one harmonious unity. Hence, the customized routine.

Odacité has a line called Serum Concentrate where each of the serums contains highly concentrated dose of actives and formulated to target a specific skin issue. With numerous ways in incorporating it into the routine, this line excites me A LOT!

With 18 serums to choose from, it can be quite a task. But being the girl who struggles with hyperpigmentation, naturally, I opt for Odacité Pa+G as my first (out of three).

BASIC SKINCARE ROUTINE

Cleanse – Hydrate – Moisturize – Protect (SPF)

Sunscreen at daytime, always.
Double Cleanse at night, a must!

Exfoliate regularly, as necessary, and don’t overdo it.
Don’t forget to use a Hydrating Toner after Exfoliating Acid Toner to prevent dryness and irritation.

Opt for calming and soothing products more than anything else. Pick gentle cleansers. Aim for hydration and moisture. Maintain the skin barrier.

Proper hydration and balanced moisturization are key to achieving a healthy skin, even if your skin is oily.

Always be gentle on your skin.

Another wishlist checked ✅ What a charming bout Another wishlist checked ✅

What a charming boutique, I can spend hours there, easily! So much to see and explore. I kept sniffing and touching things cos the temptations are strong. Not just the fragrances, but the wood, the cabinetry and the little trinkets spread across the space. An absolute feast for my eyes 😍

For now, I’m satisfied with my picks. Each will remind me of this HK trip, in a different, yet same loving way ☺️

Giving myself many pats on the back for pushing through. Habis itu senang sekali dan rasa pegel di kaki berkurang deh walau cuma sebentar 🤣

Berhubung udah dapet lampu ijo, jadi aku spill yaa Berhubung udah dapet lampu ijo, jadi aku spill yaa! ☺️ A few of you have already guessed! Yes, @menard.indonesia One Touch lip products are back! 🙌🏼

Masih dengan packaging-nya yang khas, One Touch, artinya bisa pake satu tangan untuk buka dan tutup lipstick-nya. Mudah bukan? 

Ada dua macam, yg pertama Lip Treatment N dengan clear color - basically ini lip balm untuk sehari-hari deh! It helps to improve dry & chapped lips too.

Yg kedua ada Lipstick-nya. Nah mereka ini kiblatnya ke arah sheer yak! Each gives a tint to your natural lip color. Makin di apply, tint-nya makin terlihat, tapi tetap keliatan light dan bertahan lumayan lama juga lho. Bisa juga dijadiin base untuk di layer dengan lipstick lain. Mau di layer dengan One Touch Lipstick yg lain juga bisa banget, create your custom color hehe.

Shade 100 ini walaupun keliatan kayak putih doang di bullet-nya tapi pas di swatch akan bereaksi dengan kulit kita dan ngeluarin warna pink (di aku lumayan bright!). My favorite so far is actually Shade 200 cos it somewhat neutralizes my mauve lips, jadi lebih “cerah” dan rata tanpa ada kesan pake colored products. Shade 130 is also super fun with the sheer red tone. Yang pasti semuanya menurutku veeeery effortless yak, istilahnya gak perlu ngaca bisa pake kok thanks to the sheerness of it 👌🏼

Lembap? Jelas, udah gak perlu ditanya ♥️ Bikin bibirku keliatan lebih plump, supple empuk2 gitu dan healthy. I keep pressing my lips together because it feels so cushiony! Cus lah ke @menard.indonesia kalo udah kangen banget atau penasaran sama mereka 😘
